I wouldn't have known about the Assisi meeting or the Decalogue if not for reading your post, Kate. I find it astonishing that this meeting wasn't really big news with the way things are right now. I guess the media are happier to report about all the bad things. It's unfortunate, really. Thank goodness for the Internet and lists like JMDL!!!

Right around the corner from Andy's Pizza, which is still there even though Andy, who was a good family friend, died a couple years back. Back then it was a fairly quiet intersection, now it's not. Finding a quiet intersection in Raleigh is not easy! Anyway, that Bonnie Raitt moment is a very vivid memory...maybe they've put a historical marker there! ;~) <> That happened just about the time I moved to Greenville. WQDR was a mainstay through my high school & college years, and even though most of the DJ's stayed the same, WRDU just never seemed to have the same vibe. WQDR's DJ named Jolie was instrumental in turning me on to Joni as she used to play her stuff a lot, even the DJRD & Mingus stuff that nobody else would play. Probably more than you wanted to know!

What a shame. > Yes Anne you hit the root cause of the problem. There have been numerous TV reports showing how Palestinian school textbooks are teaching hate. No wonder they blow themselves up. All of this because it serves the interest of a tiny minority. Arafat said last week that he didn't mind having 1 million martyrs (or was it 3?). Now I can assure you that Israelis are not doing that. Of course there may be some extremists who do, but on the whole Israelis want peace. I visited Israel in 2000. I felt no hate from the many Israelis I met towards the arabs, nor did I feel hate myself. At the pro Israelis demonstrations (in Paris or elsewhere) I don't hear "death to the Arabs". The reverse is sadly not true. There was an interesting special on CNN last night which puts the territorial claims in perspective: Israel is the size of New Hampshire, is 390 miles long, 85 miles at its widest point and 8 miles at its narrowest point. The commentator concluded with: "What if the rest of the U.S. declared war on New Hampshire?".

I don't find Gino's lyrics to pale in comparison to hers at all, for you cannot compare the two, for they are incomparable. I find many of hers brilliant and many insipid, to use the word put forth. Apples and oranges and blemishes in the fruit don't diminish the taste of the sweetness in either, for me. mack ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2002 11:19:19 -0400 From: "Erica Trudelle" Subject: The song I'd live in....

I found Anne's post profoundly right on. Not being a big fan of the Arab world myself, I still don't think the Israelis are blameless. They are just as responsible for the fighting as the Arabs. From where I am sitting, they make absolutely no effort to give in at all. It takes two to fight and they are willing to keep throwing punches themselves. With that kind of thinking, you are wrong and I am right, with no attempt to understand one another (which there is not by the general population of either side), there will never be a resolution, just as the Bible predicted. They will never stop until the world is destroyed with them. The ones I feel sorry for are the few on both sides that actually have some sense and don't want to keep fighting. mack ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2002 08:43:34 -0700 From: "Bree Mcdonough" Subject: Re: The song I'd live in....

Then, after seeing her perform it live, I came away with an entirely different take. During that magical night at the Gorge Amphitheater in 1998 Joni and the band transformed what to me had previously been a blase examination of contemporary society into a truly apocalyptic vision. With Brian Blade leading the way, the band (Greg Liesz and Larry Klein) gradually built the foundation which began slowly and quickly added huge drama. I remember sitting there in awe with thoughts of a whirling dark cloud that threatened to overtake everything in its path. Blade's drumming rolled through the song with crescendo after crescendo and created a feeling of turmoil, which is, I believe, the song's intent...to examine modern perils. I am very much looking forward to hearing the orchestrated version of this song. This would be a fine time for Joni to push the arrangement into a cacophonous edge which would once again portray our world for what it is today...complex, trying, and often tragic.

I played it through a time or two more, just to make sure i had something worth keeping, i did, in my opinion, so i wrote it down and can now add that to my set list to play at Jonifest!!!
